Iraq-Isis

Soldiers dying Children crying In a strange and far off land. Bullets killing Bombs so chilling This the work of our own hand? We are the ones who did invade Duped by leaders we did trust. Misled by claims of mass destruction, Hard to ask – but now we must. Did our leaders so betray us - Sell their souls for desert oil? Have they shamed our mighty nation - Brought dishonor to our soil? Will we now repeat this process Raining death on one and all? While we try to kill the evil All the innocents will fall.
